THE PLASTIC CLOUD s/t TOP! 1968 Monster Canadian psych lp w/insert M-

1968/Canada/Allied Records ….. here's a gorgeous original pressing of this monster rarity from Canada. No hype needed here!  The cover is in clean solid VG++ condition with very light shelf wear/soiling, light corner wear, very light aging on lower right and a bit along lower opening, otherwise the cover is clean and solid with no splits or delete! The vinyl is in Excellent to M- condition with a handful of super light inaudible hairlines/storage blemishes and one small grit scratch on the third track side one that causes a bit of light passive crackle during that time. The record looks and plays very clean with little noise and clean crisp fidelity! Clean labels have no spindle marks. Includes the elusive original insert that is clean and free of tears. This is a gorgeous original pressing and tough to beat in this condition! Please check my auctions for other rock and psych lp’s. Good luck and thanks for looking!

The four-piece Plastic Cloud were led by guitarist and singer Don Brewer, who penned the eight songs on this, their only LP. The Plastic Cloud is essentially two discs in one, bookending the summer of love with alternating mid-sixties folk-rock gems and extended tracks of blistering late-sixties guitar work. The somewhat wooden harmonies on 'Epistle to Paradise' and the bucolic guitar of 'Bridge under the Sky', which open sides 1 and 2 respectively, are fine examples of the former, recalling the pre-psychedelic work of the early (pre-Grace Slick) Airplane or the starry-eyed folk of the Youngbloods. 'You Don't Care', the ten-minute swath of lysergic fuzz guitar that closes out the first side, and which is by far the best of the latter, must surely be what all the fuss is about. Scorching solos, this is definitely worth searching out! Released at the tail end of 1968, and thus wedged in between the Beatles' White Album, Hendrix's Electric Ladyland, and Led Zeppelin, The Plastic Cloud drifted into the bargain bins without much notice.
